SAN Francisco, October 2lst.-[Special. |
During the afternoon session of the Court
in the Morrow trial George Grant, Assistant
Cashier of the Nevada Bank, was called as
a witness. In response to questions he
testified: have written evidence, in the
shape of a special deposit certificate, that
Frank t. Northey deposited $1,000 in the
Nevada Bank ON October 5, 1886, and
that he Withdrew it two days afterward.
Rorthey had never before, nor has he since,
transacted any business with the bank
Joseph Marshall, proprietor of the Pearl
Saloon, and ]. c. Miers, proprietor of the
Transfer Saloon, were called as witnesses
and asked whether Morrow had met Nc
Cord, Northey and Davis at either of their
places of business on May 5th Neither
could recall such meeting. Marshall tes-
titled that McCord was in his saloon about
noon to-day.
McCOrd was recalled and asked if he was
at the Pearl saloon to-day. McAllister OBJ
jected.
Flourney said the theory of the prosecu-
ton was that McCord acted as Morrow's
go-between in the case throughout This
morning | tried TO keep secret the sub
penas l sent out for these saloon keepers
and others, but by some means or other
that became known, and now ! want to
know his motive.
The Court said that if Flourney proposed
to show that McCord testified falsely in his
former testimony, the testimony would be
admissible.
Flourney said he asked the introduction
OF the testimony in the interest of justice.
This kind of thing had cropped up in the
case throughout. Flourney called atten-
tion to the fact that McCord had sworn
that he did not know where the Pearl sa-
loon was, and it was only after long
struggle that he gave the name of Joseph
Marshall, proprietor of the saloon. He
wanted to find out how it was that McCord
visited the saloon to-day.
McAllister said that there was a rule of
evidence to prevent counsel impeaching his
own witness.
The Court sustained the objection
Flournoy then called for A. c. Dietz. and
said he could not proceed without him. He
wanted to show that Morrow had guaran-
teed DietZ the amount of his bond. Dietz
could not be found by the officer who was
intrusted with the attachment to serve on
him. The wait continued until $50, when
the,Court said his information was that Dietz
wouldn't be in Court this afternoon He
had been advised that he was needed, and
was evidently hiding away. He had left
the city this morning for the purpose of
eyading the process of the Court The
IN not going on without Dietz.
MoRRow's COUNSEL MAKE PROPOSITION.
McAllister offered to admit anything
thai Flournoy thought Dietz would testify
to, and to submit the case without argu-
ment.
Flournoy said, with firmness, that he
proposed to get Mr.. Dietz, and also to argue
tbs. case. Dietz is the last witness, so far
Us she prosecution knew this afternoon.
that it has to call.
HARDSHIP ALL ROUND.
Foote protested against any unnecessary
delay, as it was hardship not only to his
client but to the jurors. He thought that
Mr.. Morrow should at least be allowed to
spend the evening at his own home, even
if he be taken back every night for Sleep
ing.
The Court said that he did not care where
the Sheriff kept him. All that was re-
quired was that Morrow should be pro-
duced in Court when required.
MORROW sUPs AT HOME
The Sheriff decided if there was no OBJ
lection to allow Mr.. Morrow to visit his
home for a while and get dinner there,
under charge of Deputy Sheriff
In admonishiug the jury, Just before ad-
journment, Judge Sullivan said that he
hoped tomorrow would end the trial, and
that tomorrow night they would be with
their families. The Court adjourned till
tomorrow.
